Top Performers | Bath v Leicester Tigers

A final for the ages as these two juggernauts of English rugby turned the clock back three decades to the last time Bath were crowned champions.

Now, Johann van Graan’s side have etched their own place in Bath’s folklore, 29 years since Phil de Glanville’s side won the league and cup double in 1996. His son Tom was one of Bath’s top performers here today, while Max Ojomoh, son of Steve, another Bath and England star, scored their side’s final, decisive try. But boy did Leicester make them work hard for this moment, one that suggests the league is returning to the rudest of health.

Top performers fom the clash

Guy Pepper. Man of the Match performance from the number 7. 4 Defenders beaten, 13 tackles and 1 turnover

Finn Russell. Mature performance from the Bath fly half. Intercept to give Max Ojomoh his try, 2 penalties and 3 conversions

Miles Reid. Strong running and brick wall like defence. 53 Meters, 5 defenders beaten and 5 tackles 

Ben Spencer. Captain fantastic. Box kicks were on the money and his control off the base were 10/10

Will Muir. The tall winger were a nightmare for Freddie Steward under the high ball.
